Research

Judith Townend’s doctoral research at the Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism, City University London, examines how English defamation and privacy law affect media publication processes.

My research focuses on legal restraints on the media, in particular, the pre-publication process; the interaction between media organisations and privacy/defamation law; and notions of self-censorship and the ‘chilling effect’. Research interests include: injunctions, defamation/privacy law, legal data, open justice, online publishing and blogging, media ethics and accountability.  I can be found on Academia.edu here.
